the community groups is trying to do a similar thing and running into the similar barriers even the elected officials. i agree to the issue in the food security in the tender loin and i phrase it around the access and the education and knowing what to do with the food once you get it and the ability to actually cook it and store it and prepare that food. but i would like to take it a step further and put on the conversation a little bit more and pose to the question of trying to answer how can you make it economically viable, if we are talking about the low income communitis that have the real high concentrations of poverty, such as the tender loin and 50 percent, and create the jobs around accessing the healthy food and give the folks the food and the opportunities to purchase the food and the sources and the example of that is the healthy corner store and that is going to expand to a meat market and going to supply the meat, and going to run that counter and i think that a lot of opportunity and we need to begin how to answer that and how can we answer that question. >> tell low, thanks f

matter at the 2 executive committee meetings that followed and the process and the timing for co-chair elections was really the catalyst to start these discussions, but i think that catalyst was really an excellent opportunity for the counsel to have a broader discussion about good government rules and the issues that were raised at those meetings really focus more upon communications between individual councilmembers but also communications between the councilmembers and the mayor's office on disability and they had questions about the good government rules that apply to discussions that take place outside of counsel meetings and i responded to those questions by scheduling a special training -- there's a briefing that's given by our city attorney at our last committee executive meeting held in october and i believe that training provided some very clear guidance about the rules that apply to passive bodies like the mayor's disability counsel and what we learned from that training is that the counsel actually has a lot of flexibility much more so than some of the other counsels and boards and c
